Comparing two surgical methods for hip socket fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to fix a specific type of hip socket fracture (posterior wall fracture) using a rim plate or a buttress plate, with or without extra screws. It aims to find the best approach for healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- You have a fracture of the back part of your hip socket from a recent hip dislocation, confirmed by X-ray or CT scan.
- Surgery to fix the fracture happens within 2 weeks of your injury.
- You were able to walk before the fracture, even if you used a cane or walker.
- You are healthy enough for surgery and can give consent (or have a guardian who can).
- You do not have other serious hip or bone problems, previous hip surgeries, or infections near the hip.

This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This trial studies whether it’s safe and helpful to start putting weight on the leg after surgery for a broken hip socket. It compares two different early walking (mobilisation) plans to see which leads to better recovery.
This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
This research study collects information about children who have broken their hip socket (the cup-shaped bone that holds the thighbone). Researchers at University of Utah hospitals want to understand how these fractures heal and what outcomes children have over time.
This study looks at how to best surgically fix unstable pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures, comparing different operative approaches. You might benefit if your goal is stable healing with a less invasive internal fixation method, but the study requires specific fracture types and long follow-up time.
This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
